You need to find how much of your contribution you can claim. With pictures and example we have explained in our article Fill Excel ITR1: 80G, Exempt Income,Calculation of Tax 80G . Some info about 80G is given below :
If you have you donated money for charity, social or philanthropic purposes, or, have made contributions reduce your tax outgo by using tax benefits under Section 80Gof Income Tax Act.
In section 80G how much amount can one claim depends on the institution to which one donates.

Only donations in cash or cheque are eligible for the tax deduction.
All donations are not eligible for tax benefits. Tax benefits can be claimed only on specific donations i.e. those made to prescribed funds and institutions.
For claiming deduction under Section 80G, a receipt issued by the recipient trust,called as donee, is a must. The receipt must contain the name , address & PAN of the Trust, the name of the donor, the amount donated .
In case of donation which are eligible for 100% deduction recipient should also insist on Form 58 from trust.
